Lalique Limited Edition Gold Luster Crystal Dragon Sculpture, Complete with Original Boxes

1940 - 1960
For Sale by Ritas Bazaar
Description

A limited edition crystal dragon sculpture by the French house of Lalique, number 188 of the edition, finished in a rich gold luster that washes across the handcrafted crystal body. In Chinese astrology the dragon is regarded as the strongest and most auspicious of all the zodiac animals, a symbol of nobility, power and honour, and Lalique's sculptors have given the piece a sinuous, coiling form that captures that sense of movement and strength: the body curves back on itself, scaled relief catches the light along its length, and the whole composition reads as alive and in motion rather than static.

The gold luster finish is applied to handcrafted crystal, giving the surface a warm, metallic sheen that shifts with the light, while the underlying crystal retains the clarity and precision of line that defines Lalique's work.

This sculpture is offered complete with its original Lalique packaging. It is fully boxed exactly as it left the maker, has never been displayed, and remains in new, unused condition — a genuinely unique opportunity to acquire a limited edition piece in this state of completeness.

The underside is engraved with the edition number and "Lalique France".

Dimensions: Length 15.6 cm; Width 5.2 cm; Height 9 cm.

Condition: New and unused, complete with original boxes and packaging as supplied by the maker. No chips, cracks or wear.

Please study the accompanying photographs carefully as they form an integral part of this description. If you have any questions, we will be happy to answer them. The item will be shipped with full tracking and insurance. Shipping costs include handling, packaging and postage.

Date of Manufacture

Ritas Bazaar has dated this Lalique Crystal Dragon Sculpture to the 1960s.

FAQs

Lalique has produced decorative art glass since the early twentieth century, expanding from Art Deco designs into animal figurines and mythological creatures that showcase contrasted frosted and polished glass techniques.

These sculptures are crafted from high-grade lead crystal using precision moulding processes, after which specialized metallic oxide coatings are applied to produce an iridescent gold lustre surface.

Authentic pieces typically feature a precise script or block signature etched into the base, uniform weight distribution, flawless crystal density, and original brand packaging.

Position the sculpture on a dark wood sideboard, mantelpiece, or glass shelving unit near ambient lighting to highlight the translucency and iridescence of the gold lustre surface.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and mild liquid soap, avoiding abrasive cloths or harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the delicate surface lustre finish.
